Unlike its predecessor (the acoustic stand-up bass) the P-Bass had frets, which allowed bassists to play with precision. Needless to say, a "new playing sensation" was born and the sound of popular music changed forever.  The Big Block P Bass brings elegance and power to any musical situation, offering high performance and the classy stripped-down look of black and chrome. Lift the hood and find a sweet new double Jazz bass humbucking pickup and active preamp designed by legendary electronics guru Michael Frank-Braun. Knurled chrome knobs on a chrome '51 P Bass control plate and the new Fender convertible bridge complete this ultra cool package.  Fender Big Block P Bass Features: Scale length: 34" Body: Alder Neck: Maple Pickups: Double Jazz Bass humbucking pickup Pickup switching: Mini-toggle pickup coil selector switch Controls: Volume, treble boost/cut, bass boost/cut Width at nut: 1.625" Fingerboard: Rosewood Bridge: Fender four-saddle convertible bridge Hardware: Chrome No. of frets: 20 medium jumbo frets Machine heads: Standard Unique features: White Pearloid block position inlays, stacked treble and bass tone controls, side-mounted output jack Edited March 14, 2022 by bigmuff69 Sold 2
